Abstract: The present invention relates to an iontophoresis system. A power supply circuit for applying pulsating voltages to iontophoretic elements includes an element selector and a potential difference generating unit. The element selector selects a combination of iontophoretic elements according to given timing. The potential difference generating unit generates a potential difference between a selected combination of iontophoretic elements by applying pulsating voltages to the iontophoretic elements at different time periods. When the system is in operation, the iontophoretic elements will not be kept at a certain potential and undesirable electrode reactions can be prevented from occurring at each iontophoretic element. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A rotary damper has a movable valve (27) supported on a support projection (26) radially outwardly projecting from a shaft (24) of a rotary member (25) which is rotatably disposed in a chamber (21) filled with a viscous fluid (22) in a casing (23). Depending on the direction in which the rotary member rotates in the chamber, the movable valve opens or closes a fluid path (34) defined between the movable valve and an inner circumferential surface of the casing. The movable valve may be angularly movably supported on a support projection which is of a circular cross-sectional shape or radially movably supported on a support projection which is of a rectangular cross-sectional shape. <MATH>

Abstract: The invention relates to improved methods and apparatus for simulating the transmission of sound from sound sources to the ear canals of a listener, said sound sources being positioned arbitrarily in three dimensions in relation to the listener. In particular, the invention relates to new and improved methods for measurement of Head-related Transfer Functions, new and improved Head-related Transfer Functions, new and improved methods for processing Head-related Transfer Functions, and new methods of changing, or of maintaining, the directions of the sound sources as perceived by a listener. The measurement method have been improved so that it is now possible to measure and/or construct Head-related Transfer Functions for which the time domain descriptions are surprisingly short and for which the differences from one individual to the other are surprisingly low.The new Head-related Transfer Functions can be exploited in any application concerning simulation of sound transmission, e.g. auralization of concert halls, measurement, simulation, or reproduction of sound, such as in binaural synthesis, e.g. for generation, by means of two sound sources, such as by headphones or by two loudspeakers, the perception of a listener that he is listening to sound generated by a multichannel sound system, such as a surround system, a quadraphonic system, a stereophonic system, etc, in the design of electronic filters used in, e.g. virtual reality systems, to simulate sound transmission from a virtual sound source to the ear canals of the listener, or, in the design of an artificial head that is designed so that its Head-related Transfer Functions approximate the Head-related Transfer Functions of the invention as closely as possible in order to make the best possible representation of humans by the artificial head, e.g. to make artificial head recordings of optimum quality.

Abstract: The fume extraction system generates a continuous air curtain (F) along a truncated surface surrounding the extraction zone. The air is rotated and diverges as it descends along the surface. The induced fumes rise along a vortex column (F') located in the middle of the zone. The system comprise an upper dome (1) whose top (10) is located on the column axis (XX'). A lower dome (2), with the same axis, has its top displaced along the axis relative to the upper dome and has an opening (20) centred on the axis. A ventilation system (4) is placed on the axis between the tops of the upper and lower domes. The ventilation system comprises turbines for generating radial air in the air guide (3), delimited by the domes, and axial air induction in the zone through the opening. The upper and lower domes are directed downwards and widened so that the air speed vector leaving the guide has a vertical component and two horizontal components. There is a fume filtering system (5,6).

Abstract: A plurality of disk drive memories are operatively coupled to a plurality of disk drive controllers. The disk drives are operatively grouped and coupled to a plurality of communication busses, each bus being coupled to a respective disk drive controller. A plurality of segment buffers are coupled to the disk drive controllers and a parity error correction system is coupled to the segment buffers. The error correction system is coupled to an input/output circuit through a plurality of buffers and an interface circuit. A processor communicates with the output buffers, the error correction system, and the segment buffers to control the storage and retrieval of data to and from the array of disk drives. The error correction system establishes a plurality of relatively small parity groups among the disk drives, each parity group having a designated parity drive. The number of drives within each parity group is maintained at a substantially reduced number to provide high speed system response to user inputs and changes and to improve system reliability. Data is uniformly distributed among the parity groups and the disk drives therein.

Abstract: In a CCD imager 1, charge is accumulated in pixels of an image area 2 representative of the intensity of incident radiation and is subsequently transferred to a store section 3 and then on a row by row basis to an output register 4 by applying suitable drive pulses to electrodes 7 and 8. Signal charge in the output register 4 is transferred to a multiplication register 5 by drive pulses applied to electrodes 9 and 10 to give charge transfer in the direction shown by the arrows. One or more drive pulses applied to the electrodes of the multiplication register 5 are of sufficiently large amplitude to produce high field regions in the register element to cause signal multiplication by impact ionisation. This gives a low noise amplification of the signal charge, the multiplied signal charge being detected at charge detection circuit 6. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An expandable annuloplasty ring which may either expand spontaneously, in situ, as the patient grows or be expanded by surgical intervention by balloon dilatation. The distensible annuloplasty ring of the invention may be usable in pediatric patients whose growth, subsequent to surgical implantation of the ring, will necessitate subsequent enlargement of the ring to accommodate growth of the annulus. The ring may include relatively expandable segments to enable the enlargement thereof. The ring segments may include engaging teeth which cooperate with notches or slots formed in the tubes to provide some resistance to ring distention, while preventing collapse of the ring in the opposite direction. The teeth may be of different sizes or shapes to regulate the amount of force needed to expand the ring at different stages of the patient's growth. Alternatively, the adjustable ring includes a solid core of non-elastic material which plastically retains its shape upon natural expansion of the annulus, or after surgical expansion. In one embodiment, segments are coupled together with a discontinuity around the ring periphery. Pivot regions are provided between adjacent segments that, along with the discontinuity, enable the ring to expand upon annulus growth. The discontinuity may be positioned along the anterior side of the ring or around the posterior side. A further version makes use of telescoped segments with no discontinuity. The segments are coupled together with tubular sheaths, and expand without decoupling. A fabric covering may be omitted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening method to identify individuals at risk of developing diseases associated with different polymorphic forms of wildtype p53; which comprises the steps of: a) obtaining a biological sample from said patients; and b) determining the presence of p53pro or p53arg wildtype alleles in said sample; wherein the allele pattern of patients selected from the group consisting of p53pro/p53pro, p53arg/p53arg and p53pro/p53arg are indicative of a risk factor for developing disease associated with different polymorphic forms of wildtype p53. Notably, individuals who are p53arg/arg are at greater risk of developing pathologies associated with human papillomavirus infections, including cervical cancer.
